I tried ONE BOULDER in 🇯🇵 B-pump for 10+ hours

B-pump in Tokyo is the hardest climbing gym in the world, but what about the climbs they set especially for world class climbers?
How long will it take me to climb one of the men's boulder that's supposed to be at the World Cup level of difficulty?

Will forever be in awe of how casually you slam dunk into the mats. Nice videoooooo :)

[@Jonathan_sin88]

My neck doesn’t appreciate quite that much🤣 THANK YOUUUU

[@Snariasdqwada]

Been climbing for just a year but I found that the only way to get hurt by landing on mats is by landing with the hands down (not good for your wrists), other than that the gym is super safe; you can slam those mats with your body as much as you want :)

[@homemsapo]

The corkscrew fall was a stunt on its own 😂❤

[@or9767]

This is climbing wall in the real life

[@nap_time_]

@@Snariasdqwada tell me that after you land on your neck

[@Christopher_Dobberstein]

Felt like this video taught me that I have never climbed hard. will be climbing much more difficult problems

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Let’s all get our asses kicked😤

[@alext2k3]

Your drive to finish the boulder is super inspiring! Im going to take that same determination with me next session

[@Jonathan_sin88]

not sure if it's the best way to get better at climbing but hell yeahhh u do uuuu

[@doodleclimbs]

i'm impressed that you can even climb and have strength 4/5 hours in!!! always so fun watching your videos

[@ClimbingCaed]

You always gain such a great experience with climbs that are exceptionally harder than you expect! I loved your perseverance💪🏽

[@Jonathan_sin88]

thank you so much and you can not be more right!!!

[@pumpkin2477]

Love your videos so much man, you have such a nice energy and video style. Keep up the good work! :D

[@Jonathan_sin88]

will do!!!

[@coalmason834]

the climbing community is so awesome

[@JUSTINCHEN-zs2lj]

I remember seeing that boulder when I visited bpump earlier this summer :0 this is so cool

[@EdBordin]

I don't think I'd have any skin left after hour 1 of trying to catch that hold 😂

[@Jonathan_sin88]

pain is just a construct😜

[@coalmason834]

hahahah dude the first attempted when you literally fly out of frame.. that was fkn hilarious

[@Jonathan_sin88]

ya that was painful🥲

[@cahikdantas6255]

Another great video!!!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thank you so much!!1

My home gym is in Salt Lake where they hold national and international competitions regularly, so I can tell you B-pump by comparison is no joke. I used to travel to Tokyo regularly and those sets always feel high effort. It doesn't help that the walls are usually slick compared to other gyms which are textured. I highly recommend climbing there if you have a chance.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

wanna go to Salt Lake City to climb so bad

[@luxlucetq]

You have the most spectacular falls I’ve ever seen. Also, ever considered stunt work?

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I haven't but id love to try

[@marcaurelius3338]

Think I saw you at Share several months ago. Thanks for sharing this nice video. Climbing is all about process. It is more important to learn something from the project you worked on rather than sending it. Also, just enjoying projects in Jams jeeting all nice people are very nice experience, I think.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

climbing is just freaking awesome

[@jaseyb]

That first attempt absolutely sent me 🤣🤣

[@shenky1186]

i'd just like to say how i love how you seem to respond to most comments on your videos. honestly don't see that much effort put into engagement with many other content creators

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I try I try, I really do appreciate all the support tho

[@ItsSansom]

Brown tape at Ogikubo is no joke, dang. Great video!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thank youuu

[@noahstephens6755]

so sick!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thank you!!!

[@demsla]

I climbed at B-Pump Akihabara while on a ramen eating trip recently and had such an awesome time there, but kind of wish I'd taken the extra time to go to Ogikubo as well!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I wish I had gone on a ramen eating trip

[@ItsSansom]

I went to Akihabara regularly before trying Ogikubo. It's crazy how much harder it is. Every climb is like a full grade harder. 6Q at Ogikubo feels like 5Q at Akihabara. There's still plenty of beginner climbs, but the difficulty ramp is so much steeper. I would absolutely recommend a visit on your next visit to Japan

[@georgestone8099]

Every gym should have a tiny Japanese kid wad to give beta when needed

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Can not agree more

[@thibaut4780]

Awesome video, maybe the Karma8a gym next to font could give u a similar expeirence !

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Aiyo, I don’t want my ass kicked that often🤣

John please come to south africa, Cape Town and come climb at City Rock and blocc11 it is really fun

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I feel like it'd be a crime if I go to South Africa and climb indoors

[@vickiwong8418]

crazyyyyyy🔥🔥🔥

crazy hard thats for sure😭

me too, eighth day on, confused and caffeinated.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Caffeinated is guaranteed

[@cjoy778]

Great Video. Not sure if this will help but I noticed that Tomoki san left his left hand on the sloper hold when he was stabbing his right foot out, giving him a much bigger triangle base to generate momentum from. He released his left hand at the very last second to catch the volume with his right foot kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHXPq4KAja5nobc. Having hands close together on the volume like you did makes it very hard to generate cross-body tension. Maybe you already tried his beta but I just wanted to share my two cents based on the video!

[@Fit-simplelife]

👌

[@IProAquaFX]

I'm so annoyed that he doesn't have so many more Subscribers by now. He puts so much time, effort and money into each video. I've been on KZbin for a hot minute now and I've seen so many KZbinrs go from nearly nothing to something (Pewdipie at 18K subs to now) and It's weirdly annoying to see a 1 mill sub channel slowly passing 14K subs. If anyone has the time and following, please share or just talk about his channel at your local crag or gym. I'm obviously not sponsored or anything but I want to see the limit of what this channel can do and clicking like, subscribe or sharing does so much. If you're still reading this, have an awesome day and do what you can today!

[@hyau23]

Was Leo(?) just a rando average japanese climber??? The standard is so much higher in japan compared to other countries

[@SachaGreif]

This is the comp wall of one of the best/hardest/most famous gym in the country… I wouldn't judge the average japanese climber based on the people who climb there!

[@jacoboblanco1555]

Rio (I suspect that’s the right pronunciation) actually works at B-Pump as a route-setter. I go to that gym fairly regularly and yea the number of very very good climbers in that gym is impressive. There is still a wide range of climbers from intermediates to pros (it’s not uncommon to see Futaba Ito, Miho, and other pros there) and even people in their late 60/70/80s.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Hahah it’s Leo, he’s definitely not just a random person at the gym ahhaha, he’s one of the main route setters for the b pump chain

[@az3ssin263]

yeayy..day 1, hour 0😂😂

the move at 3:30 is so cool looking omfg

What was your skin like after 10 hours of grinding it on volumes and big juggy slopers? 😆

[@Jonathan_sin88]

what skin

[@IProAquaFX]

Weirdly enough, coming off a broken Ankle injury, I want nothing more than to be able to fall like you. Odd talent but I'm super jealous of your hours honing that skill. (also not a diss by any means :P)

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I am hoping to get better at topping boulders rather than falling but thank you hahaha🤣

Did you really take a plane only to climb a boulder?

[@ResidentHooook]

Show this to your friends when people say climbers are eco-conscious people.

[@TOMMYOOST]

i hardly see any climbing, this sport has become parkour and im not here for it.

[@pietaripurovaara8315]

Great video and channel and good vibes all around!! ...except maybe the flying around for a boulder bit, I mean for a presumably environmentally conscious sport climbing is really really stuck in the end of history mindset where the only way to do things is the way they are being done in the status quo and without a thought of the impact on the surrounding world... And this isn't directed at you specifically, I literally I'm just rambling about - the whole IFSC World Cup flying all over the world for a few days at a time doesn't excactly set a good example for the scene or industry and etc. But keep doing what you're doing, the psyche is great and the climbing looks amazinggg thanks byee
